After actually playing the game I've decided to give my advice to those who are still contemplating buying it.
Don't even think about it, go out and get it, the game is great!
The reason people are negative about it is that the gameplay is rather different than in older versions and they don't have the patience to learn the new PES and just expect everything to be the same as in PES 4
The ball physics are better than PES 4, the headers system works a lot better, you can score out of the box and the animation is even greater.
There are also more choices in editing mode and Master League.
-The refferees aren't worse! you just have to be much more careful pressing X to defend!
-The computer isn't cheating of course! (HAVE MERCY!) the passing system just works a bit differently especially the through balls that's why CPU picks it easier.
If you have difficult times playing the game at first don't go straight to playing it at 5 stars...you'll need a little time getting used to the change.
While when going from PES 3 to PES 4 I could play at the same level like nothing has changed in PES 5 I had to start from 2 stars to get used to the new stuff, and I'm still struggling in 3 stars
have patience and practice this game it'll be worth it, after a while it just feels like real football!
